Logo and Theme for GC45

The theme of the 45th General Council (GC45) of The United Church of Canada has been selected by The Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne: Visions and Dreams

"‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your children shall prophesy, and your young people shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams.”—Acts 2:17 

"Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your children shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your elders shall see visions."—Joel 2:28 

GC45 Logo Design

The logo beautifully encapsulates the theme:

1. Dove: Represents the Holy Spirit being poured out upon all flesh, symbolizing divine presence and guidance.
2. Mountains: Signify stability and endurance, reflecting the steadfastness of God’s promises.
3. Waves: Represent life, purity, and cleansing, aligning with the transformative power of the Spirit.
4. Rainbow: Symbolizes hope, promise, and diversity, illustrating the inclusivity of God’s outpouring on all people.

These elements create a powerful visual narrative of prophecy, visions, and dreams inspired by divine intervention.
